The So-Called Husband

Lily: We had such a great time. Theater and then dinner afterwards with Hanna’s “so called” husband. We got home a bit….

Anna interruptsAnna: Wait a minute – step back. You said “so called” husband? What the heck is that? And do I want one?Lily: It’s complicated. But basically, they’re in their 70’s and didn’t want to do the legal marriage thing for financial reasons but did want to privately and publically commit to each other.Anna: Still not getting it.Lily: They had a religious ceremony with family friends. Just didn’t do the civil marriage license – nothing legally official on paper.Anna: Does this mean they have “so called” sex?

Lily: Well at their age, maybe….

Anna: And “so called” children? And “so called” friends?

Lily: You’re really stuck on this “so called” thing aren’t you?Anna: Just got me thinking that’s all. I love how they stepped out of the “so called” normal way of committing to each other. I think we should rename Hanna’s hubby the “so cool” husband.
